Jason L Herrera

Jason L Herrera serves as a key procurement professional within Navsup Weapon Systems Support, responsible for managing complex acquisitions of mission-critical aviation and weapon system components. He plays a central role in sustaining the operational readiness of U.S. Navy aircraft and naval aviation platforms by securing specialized parts, avionics, power generation systems, and mission-critical electronics. His procurement activities are tightly aligned with the agency’s mandate to maintain, repair, and modernize legacy and next-generation platforms, ensuring uninterrupted operational capability across deployed forces. Herrera routinely handles sole-source and competitive contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for high-technology, low-volume, and defense-unique hardware requiring stringent technical compliance and supply chain traceability. Herrera maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Thales Defense & Security Inc, AMD International Technologies LLC, Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, and Mission Systems Wimborne Limited. These partnerships are characterized by long-term sustainment contracts, technical support agreements, and engineering services for classified and controlled aviation systems. His procurement approach emphasizes technical fidelity, supply chain integrity, and performance-based contracting, often relying on established vendor expertise for proprietary or obsolescence-managed components. Herrera’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. There is no indication of preferential treatment for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability, mission necessity, and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing the acquisition of flight control systems, engine accessories, radar interface units, and mission-specific avionics. His technical expertise lies in procuring defense-unique, non-commercial items requiring rigorous qualification, configuration control, and military specification compliance for naval aviation platforms.
